Re: Summer Favorites

I'd be glad to! It's a really mattifying BB cream; I can go without powdering if need be. The roll on applicator is strange, so I end up just squeezing it straight from the tube. Also, there's no SPF so it's great for photography. I'd say I'm a MAC NC25 at the moment, and the shade Light Ochre matches me to a tee! The shade range is definitely more suitable for folks with light-medium to medium skin tone, unlike a lot of BB creams that only cater to the NC0 and below crowd

Re: Summer Favorites

It sounds like we have similar coloring in skin tone! I think most BB creams haven't worked for me because they're targeted for really light skin, and while not dark I have some color to my face! What color do you use in the Misha BB cream? I know everyone and their mother loves that one!

Re: Summer Favorites

For the Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, I mix shades 27 and 21 to get my perfect coloring . Shade 23 is supposedly the universal shade, but it can pull a little gray and look unnatural. Seriously, I haven't bought a foundation ever since I discovered Asian BB creams.
